* Ohio - Donald Trump erroneously takes credit for Ford shifting truck production from Mexico to Ohio
-- Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump enthusiastically patted himself on the back Sunday, asserting on Twitter that, because of political pressure he applied, Ford Motor Co. has nixed expansion plans in Mexico... But Trump appeared to be confusing two separate projects – one that Ford is moving ahead with in Mexico, despite his protests, and another here in Northeast Ohio... Regardless, Trump had nothing to do with the deal... The exchange marks the first time Ohio Gov. John Kasich, one of Trump's rivals for the GOP nomination, has tangled with Trump – a notable development in a race where he has been reluctant to indulge in Trump's antics ...
